In a case that may set nationwide precedent for punishing prosecutorial misconduct, ex-judge Ken Anderson will lose his law license and serve jail time—but will not have criminal convictions—in a settlement resolving criminal and civil charges against him. There also will be an audit of all the cases Anderson prosecuted while he was Williamson County district attorney.
Anderson faced allegations that he failed to disclose exculpatory evidence in the case against Michael Morton, who was wrongfully convicted in 1987 on charges of murdering his wife, Christine Morton.
